About Me

I come from the countryside in the Netherlands. Already from a young age I have been a creative doer. My father was a carpenter, when he worked in his workshop in the weekends, I used to be set up with a hammer, nails and leftover wood to create whatever I pleased.
Like my father, I’m a maker and love the practical side of photography.

I’m glad I learned the craft as photographer in the traditional way, at the Royal Academy of Art in the Hague. My passion started with making portaits, though more recently I have started to enjoy photographing landscapes and stills.

In 2018 I returned to the Netherlands. After living in Raglan, a beautiful, small beachside town in New Zealand, for eight years. Now I am back in my beloved city the Hague. No doubt there is some Kiwi-ness in my system after my NZ years, which is a good feeling :)
